@louisa1000 @PatrickChristys Undoubtedly some play the system, but tarring those on benefits (including those in work) with the same brush is lazy and unfair

@inourday @PatrickChristys No, but families with loads of kids who now earn more on benefits than hard working families can ever hope to earn, that’s not right!

I’m sorry but this is absolutely ridiculous

@neilsmithsky @PatrickChristys I hope you never fall on bad times and have to claim benefits. If you do Im sure the last thing youll think about is a quick trip to the Tower of London.

@inourday @PatrickChristys Absolutely yes 👍🏻 hope that helps

@skp180 @albieamankona Were you off school the day they did the lessons on punctuation and forming sentences?

@albieamankona Yh dont worry us workers will subsidise there tickets and it is that we pay more so they can charge less to lazy cunts its at the point if you work you dont have money for shit like that i hooe the whole system collapses and the lazy cunts suffer ill still be at work tho 👍

If a private organisation wants to give a concession to someone on benefits, like a pensioner or someone on a low income, that’s a matter for them.

@Luffydude1 @albieamankona Evidence that the govt is behind the discounts and "cudgeling" them? I wont wait

@albieamankona Even if it was true and these were all fully private organizations (which they are not because they are fully or partly taxpayer funded), the government is cudgeling companies to offer freebies or big discounts

@MerrynSW Do you honestly think people on benefits choose to stay on benefits because they get cheap entry into these places?

Welfare in the U.K. works as a kind of cascade system. Once you are in...

@neilsmithsky @PatrickChristys You actually think all people on benefits choose to do so and one of the reasons is they get to go to these places at a cheap rate?

@PatrickChristys This is why being on benefits has become a lifestyle choice for many

@louisa1000 @PatrickChristys So you think people choose to go on benefits just so they can go to these places on the cheap?

@PatrickChristys Yet another incentive for many to stop working. This country is so screwed. People on benefits now get so much but hard working families they get nowt, this is a major problem, people will rebel!

@IsabelPat1886 @NoEducationTax @CF_Farrow @KemiBadenoch @LauraTrottMP @bphillipsonMP Whatever. The facts are that the schools that are closing have been poorly run for years and people like you want to blame it all on the govt.

@IsabelPat1886 @NoEducationTax @CF_Farrow @KemiBadenoch @LauraTrottMP @bphillipsonMP Nothing you say there warrants a special tax break.

This is what Labour wanted. 500 children without a school place. 170 staff made redundant. Their VAT raid on school fees was never about “fairness”, it was about punishing independent education. Children, families teachers and support staff are now paying the price.

@Offgrid__Greg @RobertJenrick Whatever your view of those on benefits, youre still chatting shit about Motability

@inourday @RobertJenrick Paid for by workers & businesses through ever increasing taxes. Weak MPs have given the benefits class the false idea that they are entitled to a lifestyle paid for by others or ever increasing debt. This needs to stop, benefits need massive reductions & the tax burden reduced.

No. Working people are being taken for a ride. Under a Reform UK government you won’t be able to use benefits to get discounts like this.

@IsabelPat1886 @NoEducationTax @CF_Farrow @KemiBadenoch @LauraTrottMP @bphillipsonMP You have an extremely high opinion of yourself and a dismissive attitude to those who see things differently dont you? Rhetorical question. Blocked

@inourday @NoEducationTax @CF_Farrow @KemiBadenoch @LauraTrottMP @bphillipsonMP If you're an Economics graduate, you'll know it's not a tax break, for the reasons I've written about. Maybe read it and respond to the substance. Just because you've refused to read something, doesn't make it wrong.

@jenn26265 @RobertJenrick Really! You want a govt to tell independent businesses what to charge? And a bit rich of Jenrick to complain about this when it was the case when he was in govt .

@inourday @RobertJenrick That’s a separate issue to whether or not it’s fair, but actually an incoming government could regulate this.

@Offgrid__Greg @RobertJenrick You dont get a car for free, you forego some of your benefits to pay for it. Its just like leasing a car.

@RobertJenrick Sat in the Kwik Fit waiting room while getting some work done on my car it was a regular influx of Motability users dropping by for free work on their benefits 'company car'. No bill payable as they are on Motability! Tax payer covering the cost of these lazy parasites.

@jenn26265 @RobertJenrick As theyre not public owned its totally up to them to determine entry prices.

@RobertJenrick I don’t mind a small discount but this is taking the piss.

@Peat_Mindset1 @Alexand68647317 @blagden_david There's UK research that supports the premise that migrants on average contribute more than they cost. You can rightly highlight the doctor situation but we'd be stuffed without the overseas nurses/carers.

@inourday @Alexand68647317 @blagden_david I'm using Denmark because we as a country refuse to collect this sort of data, probably because the regime is afraid of the answer We should prioritise native and European workers, yes. We have many British doctors who have graduated and can't even get a position

This is why British forces will have to be bristling with lethality. Anti-ship missiles on every RN warship, every RAF aircraft, plus ground-based launchers. SSKs to pose threat where costly SSNs can’t always be. Air defence and land attack capabilities on everything. 1/3

@IsabelPat1886 @NoEducationTax @CF_Farrow @KemiBadenoch @LauraTrottMP @bphillipsonMP Never read the Guardian and am an Economics graduate so quit the insults (means youve lost the argument). Just because youve written something doesnt make it right.

@inourday @NoEducationTax @CF_Farrow @KemiBadenoch @LauraTrottMP @bphillipsonMP It's not a tax break, it was never a tax break. Maybe stop reading the Guardian and pick up an economics book. Or try this explanation. Glad to help. isabelpaterson.substack.com/p/when-is-a-ta…

@StufferSuitcase @NoEducationTax @CF_Farrow @IsabelPat1886 @KemiBadenoch @LauraTrottMP When you result to insults youve lost the argument and my attention. Goodbye.

@inourday @NoEducationTax @CF_Farrow @IsabelPat1886 @KemiBadenoch @LauraTrottMP You sound mature enough to be allowed a vote 🙄 Unfortunately it’s you that’ll be crying as your taxes go up and up with no benefit because you believed politicians’ lies. (If you pay any. More likely you cost more than you pay in, or you wouldn’t sound so painfully dull.)

@GailH99164549 @Simmons__ You could be 65 (ie be below state pension age), working in a high paid job and still get a good reduction

@Simmons__ People here keep yapping about state pension being a 'benefit', but i don't see it listed here for a reduction

Is this fair?

@NoEducationTax @CF_Farrow @IsabelPat1886 @KemiBadenoch @LauraTrottMP @bphillipsonMP Labour made clear they were going to do it and the nation elected them knowing that. Its called democracy

@inourday @CF_Farrow @IsabelPat1886 @KemiBadenoch @LauraTrottMP @bphillipsonMP The service of education is a merit good & has never attracted tax. This is a targeted tax on schools that the government are bizarrely ideologically opposed to. Why should university education remain tax exempt?

@Peat_Mindset1 @Alexand68647317 @blagden_david Youre desperate when youre using a totally different country to try and prove your point. Are you saying we should deport healthcare staff we recruit from nonEU countries? Where would the NHS be then?

@inourday @Alexand68647317 @blagden_david Simply put we should almost exclusively accept immigration from other Europeans, and we should deport millions of migrants who are a net drain on our system, are here illegally, hate us and our way of life and criminals
